How long would it take HRT to worsen RLS?
Having had very mild RLS for a number of years it worsened dramatically in Feb 2020. In Jun this year I increased by HRT and am experiencing an escalation in my RLS symptoms and so now I’m wondering if my starting it in May 2019 could’ve been the original trigger for them worsening - is it possible

when is enough enough
as I read the post here I am struck by the bravery and never give up attitudes of the men who share their stories here. I have not faced hardly any of the difficulties I read about yet I have already made up my mind that I’m going to stop treatment and enjoy what time I have left . Am I just a wiener

Please help us decide on next treatment
Hi, my Dad was diagnosed back in 2021 with stage IV, Gleason 9, oligometastatic. He had 6 weeks of radiation at the time of diagnosis and has been for the past 2.5 years on Abiraterone, Prednisone and Lupron. As I mentioned in my prior post my Dad’s PSA started going up. He had a PSMA Pet scan and it

A prostate cancer brother who ask me to return to HU (blame him ;), recently asked me about my T levels. Mid-day today I texted him the results which came in while on a coffee break following my morning of most excellent spring skiing. He texted back what I have used for the topic of this post. Yes

I thought it was helping somewhat but no yesterday I had another complete meltdown and today

Side effects from Xtandi monotherapy?
after failing multiple times on regular ADT plus SBRT and finally failing LU– 177 and Provenge, my PSA went on the rise again. I’ve been on mono Xtando for six weeks and not feeling well despite trying to exercise heavily. Going in for bloodwork tomorrow. What kind of labs should I ask for? Anyone

Embark study
Hi friends, When the Embark study came out, and the FDA approved Xtandi for its use, my MO was enthusiastic that I add Xtandi to my intermittent ADT treatment. What I'm wondering is, I can certainly understand that adding Xtandi to the intermittent ADT treatment delays average time to metastasis, but

Chiropractors
Sometimes I comment on chiropractors and how they can affect health issues. I posted this on another post and thought maybe some people, who do not read that post, could be interested. There is a chance that the condition of the spine could have something to do with AF. Heart doctors generally do not

Prostate cancer radiotherapy side effects.
I’m a seventy seven year old who had a radical prostatectomy eight years ago. Following one of my regular PSA tests the result showed, after scans in September 2023, a return in the prostate bed and adjacent lymph nodes. Began hormone implants straight away followed by twenty doses of targeted radiotherapy

Brachytherapy boost HDR vs LDR +/- ADT
A bit of my background: 50 years old, Gleason score of 4+3, a PSA of 11, decipher is low, and possible extracapsular extension. 1) I know what LDR and HDR do, but what are the differences in terms of their long-term side effects? 2) Should I include ADT for a better outcome and what percentage improvement

When is PARP introduced?
Hi My husband is currently on triple therapy ( Docetaxel chemo , Zoladex every 3 months and nubeqa) he has one more chemo round left next week. He is responding well so far as PSA is declining ( see profile for PSA) . I have seen some men are talking a PARP inhibitor and nubeqa and zoladex ( or ADT

Why do MO's continue to prescribe Lupron ADT for Castrate-Resistant men?
I've never understood why MO's continue to prescribe Lupron ADT (or equivalent ) for men who are
castrate-resistant (CRPC
). Isn't that the definition of CRPC, namely, that ADT is no longer working for those men? Why continue to prescribe a drug that no longer works and that causes such suffering

Losing my pubic hair
Recently I noticed that the skin on my inner legs in the crotch area under my scrotum turned brown and then started to peel like a sunburn. The exposed skin is a healthly pink hue and no longer brown but I lost my pubic hair from this area. Surprisingly the size and shape on the brown spots was very

question for those who have stopped Lupron after many years of ADT
I have been on Lupron for 8 years with the short-term exception of a high/T clinical trial,( but even during the trial I stayed on Lupron). Anyway I’m undetectable and decided to stop Lupron. 3 months after not getting my shot my T is now a whopping 37. I am curious to hear from some of you who
